The pause



April you scorch me 

My throat dries up 

Sitting in ac at 17

I still sweat

I think the gas is leaking 

I blame the plumber

The electrician 

The annual maintenence a waste

A pedestal fan directed towards me 

And my colleague who is also 48 

We both blaming everything we 

Can lay eyes on 

Something like a fever yes I agreed 

The others - yeah it's hot 

Getting hotter every year  

Being said every now and then 

But they do look cooler than us 

I call my aunt with doubts 

Yeah dear she says the climacteric often 

causes such havoc , 

Oh this is midlife crisis 

The next day I conveyed the same to my

dear colleague who always concurs to my views 

Haven't we been blaming poor April 

And every other possible 

While the fault lies in our timeline 

We decide upon the making 

Asparagus racemosus supplements 

Into our diet

hope it helps
